Service 05 — Repair

Pallet repair and remanufactured pallets.

A broken deck board does not make a pallet scrap. Repair replaces the damaged parts; remanufacturing builds pallets from recovered boards. Partner suppliers handle both, and both usually cost less than new.

Ask about repair

Give the quantity, the size and the ZIP code. We pass your request to a partner supplier, who follows up.

  • Buy, sell, recycle or remove: tell us which way it flows
  • Add the size, grade and quantity if you know them

  • Availability depends on partner suppliers

Partner suppliers follow up by email, so this needs to be a working address.

What a good repair looks like

Full-length boards, matched thickness

A good repair replaces a damaged deck board with a full-length board of the same thickness. Short boards butted together, or boards of a different thickness, weaken the pallet and can catch on conveyors.

A cracked stringer can be strengthened with a companion stringer nailed alongside it. That is a sound repair, but many buyers grade those pallets B, because racked loads test stringer repairs first.

Heat-treated export pallets need treated replacement wood. A marked pallet repaired with untreated boards is no longer compliant. See ISPM-15 explained.
